A disturbing case of animal abuse was uncovered in Lexington, NC, when police discovered multiple cats suffering from abuse and neglect, alongside one who had already died. The man responsible now faces charges including animal cruelty, abandonment, hoarding, and failing to vaccinate the animals in his care.
Sign the petition to demand this man receive mandatory counseling and a permanent ban on animal ownership.
Dozens of cats were subjected to neglect, suffering without the care they needed to survive. Tragically, at least one cat did not make it out alive. These crimes cannot be dismissed as a lack of resources alone, they reflect a cycle of neglect and harm that must be broken.
That's why accountability here must include both compassion and protection. Counseling is necessary to address the root causes that led to this cruelty. And a lifetime ban on animal ownership is critical to ensure no more innocent lives suffer at his hands.
Sign the petition to urge Lexington authorities to ensure justice is served, including permanent protections for animals, and mandatory counseling to prevent future abuse.
